“The training course that I took last year in Chicago was outstanding. James Carroll does an excellent job of presenting the key elements of photobiomodulation in an entertaining and informative manner. I’ve been working in this area of research for 15 years and I learned much in this course. I would take it again.”

Masters graduate found LED therapy had positive effect on muscular performance

Tom Hemmings, a Masters graduate student at Georgia Southern University

Great news, Tom Hemmings, a Masters graduate student at Georgia Southern University, found that LED therapy had a positive effect on muscular performance. THOR helped Tom decide on a thesis topic in December 2013, which he completed this past week.

The study itself identified the effects of various dosages of LED on the total repetitions performed during an eccentric leg extension. The dosages of 60 seconds and 120 seconds on each point were found to significantly increase repetitions when compared with the placebo trial.

This study suggests that LED can enhance muscular performance when applying the THOR laser prior an exercise bout.

Valerie Gause, our Veterinary Division National Sales Director for US and Canada was sent this neat story from Lesanna Lahner at Seattle Aquarium.

Hi Valerie,

Sea otter patient being treated for uveitis with laser therapyHere’s our first patient being treated for uveitis! 18 yr old northern sea otter that was orphaned at 1 week of age when her mom was hit and killed by a boat in Alaska. Her name is Lootas. She did great for her laser treatment.

We hope to keep her off NSAIDs (topical and systemic) with her new treatment.

Talk soon!
